Torati 10
1 Wakati ule Bwana aliniambia, “Chonga vibao viwili vya mawe kama vile vya kwanza uje kwangu juu mlimani. Pia utengeneze Sanduku la mbao.
At that time YHWH said to me, "Cut two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to me onto the mountain, and make an ark of wood.
2 Nitaandika juu ya vibao maneno yaliyokuwa katika vile vibao vya kwanza, ambavyo ulivivunja. Kisha utaviweka ndani ya Sanduku.”
I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark."
3 Hivyo nikatengeneza Sanduku kwa mti wa mshita, nikachonga pia vibao vya mawe kama vile vya kwanza, kisha nikakwea mlimani nikiwa na vibao viwili mikononi mwangu.
So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two tablets of stone like the first, and went up onto the mountain, having the two tablets in my hand.
4 Bwana akaandika juu ya hivi vibao kile alichokuwa amekiandika kabla, Amri Kumi alizokuwa amewatangazia juu mlimani, kutoka kwenye moto siku ile ya kusanyiko. Bwana akanikabidhi.
He wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which YHWH spoke to you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and YHWH gave them to me.
5 Kisha nikashuka kutoka mlimani na kuweka vibao ndani ya Sanduku nililokuwa nimelitengeneza, kama Bwana alivyoniagiza, navyo viko huko sasa.
I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are as YHWH commanded me.
6 (Waisraeli walisafiri kutoka visima vya Yaakani hadi Mosera. Huko Aroni alifariki na kuzikwa, naye Eleazari mwanawe akachukua nafasi yake kama kuhani.
(The children of Israel traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his place.
7 Kutoka pale, walisafiri hadi Gudgoda wakaendelea mpaka Yotbatha, nchi yenye vijito vya maji.
From there they traveled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.
8 Wakati huo Bwana aliteua kabila la Lawi kulibeba Sanduku la Agano la Bwana, kusimama mbele za Bwana ili kutoa huduma, na kutangaza baraka kwa Jina lake, kama wanavyofanya mpaka leo.
At that time YHWH set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of YHWH, to stand before YHWH to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.
9 Hiyo ndiyo sababu ya Walawi kutokuwa na sehemu wala urithi miongoni mwa ndugu zao; Bwana ndiye urithi wao, kama Bwana Mungu wao alivyowaambia.)
Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; YHWH is his inheritance, according as YHWH your God spoke to him.)
10 Basi nilikaa mlimani kwa siku arobaini usiku na mchana, kama nilivyofanya mara ya kwanza, pia Bwana alinisikiliza hata wakati huu. Haikuwa nia yake kuwaangamiza.
I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and YHWH listened to me that time also, and YHWH would not destroy you.
11 Bwana akaniambia, “Nenda, ukawaongoze watu katika njia yao ili kwamba waweze kuingia na kuimiliki nchi ile niliyowaapia baba zao kuwapa.”
YHWH said to me, "Arise, take your journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them."
12 Na sasa, ee Israeli, Bwana Mungu wako anataka nini kwako ila kumcha Bwana Mungu wako, kwenda katika njia zake, kumpenda na kumtumikia Bwana Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote na kwa roho yako yote,
Now, Israel, what does YHWH your God require of you, but to fear YHWH your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve YHWH your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
13 na kuyashika maagizo ya Bwana na amri zake ninazokupa leo kwa mafanikio yako mwenyewe?
to keep the commandments of YHWH, and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good?
14 Mbingu, hata mbingu za juu sana, dunia na kila kitu kilichomo ndani yake, ni mali ya Bwana Mungu wako.
Look, to YHWH your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is in it.
15 Hata hivyo Bwana alikuwa na shauku na baba zako, akawapenda na akawachagua ninyi, wazao wao, kuliko mataifa yote, kama ilivyo leo.
Only YHWH had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their descendants after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day.
16 Kwa hiyo tahirini mioyo yenu, na msiwe na shingo ngumu tena.
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.
17 Kwa kuwa Bwana Mungu wenu ni Mungu wa miungu na Bwana wa mabwana, Mungu mkuu, mwenye uweza na wa kutisha, ambaye hana upendeleo na hapokei rushwa.
For YHWH your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn't respect persons, nor takes reward.
18 Huwapigania yatima na wajane, humpenda mgeni, akimpa chakula na mavazi.
He does execute justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the foreigner, in giving him food and clothing.
19 Nanyi wapendeni wageni, kwa kuwa ninyi wenyewe mlikuwa wageni huko Misri.
Therefore love the foreigner; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
20 Mche Bwana Mungu wako na umtumikie yeye. Shikamana naye kwa uthabiti na kuapa kwa jina lake.
You shall fear YHWH your God; you shall serve him; and you shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.
21 Yeye ni sifa yako; yeye ni Mungu wako, ambaye alikutendea yale maajabu makubwa na ya kutisha uliyoyaona kwa macho yako mwenyewe.
He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things, which your eyes have seen.
22 Baba zako walioshuka kwenda Misri jumla yao walikuwa sabini, na sasa Bwana Mungu wako amekufanya wengi kama nyota za angani.
Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now YHWH your God has made you as the stars of the sky for multitude.
